[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
There was a promo on again during AI tonight. I think it was the same promo as last night's but I'm not sure.
Can someone with a better memory tell me if last night's promo started with, "Fox breaks the mold again...With a revolutionary new series..."?
I think that's how it started, yeah.
It's revolutionary because they film in cars.
It's revolutionary because they film in cars.
And they break molds. In most other shows, either the molds remain unbroken or they have no molds to begin with.
Huh. I totally blocked that part out. My mind works in mysterious ways.
Also, I see that the new one has now hit that online place with the video clips.
The promo = good. In fact, it's a little great.
"Fox breaks the mold again...With a revolutionary new series...""And then cancels it."
"And then cancels it."
OK, I totally get that Fox doesn't have the best track record. But I feel like people are putting carts before horses. It just seems like talking about cancellations two months before the show airs is putting a bad energy out there.
Not trying to play thread dictator. Just wondering out loud about such things.
Point taken.
Which, actually, was why I used the quotes. Should have been more specific, it just followed in my head in the whole announcer voice.
I'm kinda tired of shows I like coming on the air for a nanosecond and then going away. And Tim tends to make shows I like.
If I have the power to "put out bad energy" about a show and undermine its survival just by voicing worry about its prospects here, I propose the creation of an "OMG! WHAT WILL WE DO IF ABC CANCELS ACCORDING TO JIM?!?" thread.
I've seen it other places as well. I just finally wondered out loud because I knew you guys would accept the comment at face value, and I wouldn't get into a fight over free speech or whatnot over the Internet.
I'm rather optimistic about the chances for TV's hit Drive. Perhaps I'm being Sally Sunshine, but promos have aired four times, right? Three times during the top-ranked show for the past two or three years, and another time during the 2006 Emmy winner for best drama series. I think these are good signs.
